You're looking at the glass as half empty. There are at least three
major aspects which you have *not* considered:

1. He came to us, first.
2. Once he found out it was valuable, he didn't take it to E-Bay.
3. Everyone on this list had a fair shot at it.

Opportunist? Maybe-- he got lucky and wanted to ca$h in. Good for
him. Is that such a crime? If you had a way to sell 'lucky breaks',
you'd have folks beating a path to your door.

Scoundrel? Only if he misrepresents himself or the merchandise;
on this forum, it is best to give him the benefit of the doubt.


Alot more than $0.02 but I think it needed saying . . .
